Xi Jinping's article on deepening reform, opening up to be published

An article by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on deepening reform and opening up across the board will be published on Thursday.

The article by Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, will be published in this year's 10th issue of the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.

The article consists of excerpts from important discourses made by Xi from December 2012 to March 2024.

Noting that reform and opening up is a crucial move in deciding the future of Chinese modernization, the article said that since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, historic and remarkable accomplishments have been made in comprehensively deepening reform.

The direction of comprehensively deepening reform is to continuously promote the self-improvement and development of the socialist system, and it will remain the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese modernization, it said.

To advance Chinese modernization, it is imperative to further deepen reform and opening up across the board, it noted.

According to the article, the 20th CPC National Congress put forward a series of major reform measures, which is a significant strategic deployment by the CPC Central Committee to comprehensively deepen reform on the new journey of the new era.

It said to build a modern socialist country in all respects, a number of strategic, creative and pioneering reforms should be launched, and major initiatives in comprehensively deepening reform should be put forward to inject strong momentum into promoting high-quality development and Chinese modernization.

While a problem-oriented approach should be adopted, the reforms should focus on removing bottlenecks that hinder forming a new development pattern and constrain high-quality development. They should also address problems concerning the development environment, people's well-being and social justice, the article said.
